'Death of the Desktop'
</h2>
<p>
On desktops, &quot;people still feel they need lots of local power and storage, even though their <a class="story-keyword-offsite" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CPU" onclick="window.open('http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CPU'); return false;">CPUs</a> idle and they never back up their stuff,&quot; blogger
<a href="http://pogson.6k.ca/" target="_blank">Robert Pogson</a> told LinuxInsider.</p>
<p>However, &quot;experience with netbooks will kill off the desktop within
a few years,&quot; Pogson predicted. &quot;It makes little sense unless you need
all those drives, noise, heat, space and burning money. Those who
really need power will use a thin client connected to a server cluster.&quot;</p>
<p>Looking ahead, &quot;expect <a class="story-keyword-offsite" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU" onclick="window.open('http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU'); return false;">GNU</a>/Linux
to do just as well on notebooks as it did on netbooks,&quot; he added. &quot;2009
was the year of GNU/Linux on the desktop as far as I am concerned. 2010
could well mark the death of the desktop and overweight notebooks.&quot;</p><br /> Good discussion in Technewsworld on adoption of Linux based Netbooks (32%), the predicted surge in 2010 with ARM based Netbooks which will run ONLY Linux... http://www.technewsworld.com/story/68922.html http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CnzvtfGnGtI
